More Mystery Jewelry Items

Today I have a couple more mystery items.  I'm not even sure that these are jewelry or fashion accessory related.  I also have an item that I had totally misidentified to share.  It just goes to show that things aren't always what you think they are.

 I don't have a clue what this first item is.  Victorian paperclip?  Napkin holder?  Money clip?  This looks a bit like it could be worn as a pendant.  Perhaps this was worn and then items were tucked into the clip at the bottom.

The next item is clearly German, based on the tag inside.  It reads SRberauflage over the BSF and Super-Veralegelung below.  It appears to be either a Greek god of perhaps a sign of the Zodiac.  But is this a napkin ring or somethings else?  Clearly not a bracelet.

 

This last item is one I had assumed was a tie clip.  Of course, you know what the say about assume!  However, someone was kind enough to send me an e-mail to set me straight.  This is actually a napkin clip.  Seems that during Victorian times meals lasted so long that people had to occasionally leave the table.  Napkins were clipped to the clothing so that one could stand and the napkin would not fall to the floor.  As you can see, the clip only has teeth at the very front and does not clip as tightly as a tie clip would.

  

You never know what you are going to find at estate sales and auctions.  And sometimes you still don't know what it is when you get it home!
